Will you join me tomorrow and not buy any Chinese made goods and only American made?

Obviously one reason why China is rising at a faster pace then America is that almost everything is made there. Go ahead pick up one of the objects next to you and see where it was made, i’m sure out of all of the ones you checked, a large amount was from China. Here are reasons why to stop buying from them
1. Religious Freedom-in China, if you’re not part of a state-sanctioned religion, you can be harassed, arrested, tortured or even killed. Sites to look at include: http://www.persecution.com/index.cfm
2. Labor standards – the use of child labor, prison labor, or even quasi-slave labor is not a unique-to-China problem, but China is certainly not a paragon of virtue in this respect. For stories in this regards, see http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/.
3. Environment issues – Reading about the Three Gorges Dam in National Geographic (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/… made me realize the scale of the things China could do. But China’s booming manufacturing sector is notorious for its pollution. See, http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/… for example.
4. Democracy – The economic liberalization of China has not been accompanied with even the slightest move towards democracy. The government of China is the same as the one that used tanks to kill and maim its youth in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Democracy may eventually come, as the newly-affluent Chinese begin to demand more say in their country’s direction, but until that happens, there are lots of nascent democracies around the world that can benefit from my consumer dollars.
5. Tibet, Taiwan, and North Korea, and whoever else is next – China’s government has a history of aggression and aggressive rhetoric. OK, lots of countries do too, but it’s still a bit scary that North Korea has nukes, and surely they had help from their neighbors.
6.Economic power – currently the trade deficit between the USA and China stands at over 0 billion per year – that’s money that will one day come back to roost. Why not put our consumer dollars in the hands of democratic countries in Europe, Asia, or even in this very hemisphere? Countries that actually buy North American products (cars and so forth), and that support us when it comes to security matters (like Afghanistan, Haiti, etc).
7. Trade equity – Related to the above. I have heard the argument that our production in North America is intellectual, not goods, so the trade deficit is a false metric of trade. While it sounds good in theory, so far, China has not shown itself to be able to enforce intellectual property rights. On a visit to Hong Kong, I remember being offered software and movies to buy before these were even released in North America. If we’re going to trade with someone, it should be a level playing-field. China has yet to make their market fair for North American products such as music, movies and software.
8. Product Safety – I confess that this wasn’t on our minds when we started NMiC, but in recent months, we’ve all read the reports. Anti-freeze in toothpaste, poisonous pet food, lead-based paint on toys… did I mention Aquadots? China’s free-for-all simply doesn’t provide for the standards for labor environment and safety we take for granted.
9. Trade and Manufacturing Capabilities – as more and more products are manufactured overseas, we lose the ability to make them in North America. Although globalization has brought unprecedented trade, I believe it’s important to retain the ability to manufacture key strategic materials. We can’t even make a flat-screen in North America!

Tomorrow when you wake up and start your day, please whenever you buy something ask where it is made, even somewhere else where there is a democracy will suffice. Will you join me tomorrow and not buy any Chinese made goods and only American made?

i don’t mean forever but just tomorrow

Which online business idea should I pick?

Hello. I would like to start an online business/company over the summer. My goal is to eventually make six or more figures a year. I have two ideas which I think could be really profitable. The problem is, I was quoted 40-50 thousand to make each site (except for the other business ideas). I just dont have that kind of money to even build one site. I will list the ideas below, and could you please tell me which idea you think is more profitable. How should I go about building the site? Should I hire someone on craigslist, rent a coder, etc.? Or should I try to build it my self? What should I use? I dont know programming or coding or web design.

1. My first idea is a website where users can submit original songs and other users can listen, rate, comment, share, and chat with other users. Users could also create a page where they could post info, and find new band members. I like this idea since the only competition is www.purevolume.com. PureVolume is making 0 a day! If I make a better site, why can’t i make that or more? I would sell ad space on the site. Accounts would be free, but if the site became big enough, I would create a pro membership that costs money in addition to the free account. If you think this idea could be profitable, how should I go about creating the site? I got quoted 40-50k to build by a web design firm. Should I use Kickapps which lets you create a social network site where user submit content (videos, MUSIC, videos etc.) for a small fee? Should I hire a developer on rent a coder?

2. My second idea is a website where users could post, list, sell, buy, auction, and trade websites. An ebay or amazon marketplace for websites. Users would post the site link with info and a snapshot and price, and other users would buy the site if they wanted to. I would take a small 4% commision from the sale. I would also sell ad space on the website. This website has some competition such as websitebroker.com, flippa.com, and sitepoint.com, but the potential is huge, and there is room for another player. If you think this site is profitable, how should I build it? Should I hire someone or build it myself. If build it myself, how should I build it?

3. My third idea is to sign up for resellerdynamics. You pay 00 to them and they give you liscense to re sell there website building software on your own website and charge fees per month. they were reviewed in small business opportunity mag as a good opportunity and bbb says they are legit.

4. My last idea is to make a website with lots of articles, reviews, comparisons, etc. on cell phones. I would also sign up to be an affiliate with verizon, att, sprint, etc., and sell phones on my site. I know there are a lot of competition out there such as phonearena, phonedog, cnet, and mobiledia, but each site doest the same thing as the other site, and they all are making great money. By the way, is a website like this or a website in general considered a company? Could you be a CEO of the company that runs the website. Like if I call the site www.sprocketfish.com, could I make a company called Sprocketfish Inc. that runs the website and could I be CEO of Sprocketfish Inc.?

I really want to make one of these websites with as low startup as possible. I know I would have to market like crazy and do site matinence, but please help me. My parents think i should do a business like normal teens where you mow the lawn, babysit, etc, but I really want to do online business and hopefully make a good living. I think my sites ideas have potential. Which idea should I do? Which idea is more profitable? Even if you think they are not profitable, which would you choose if you had to? How should I build it?

Thanks!

PS, I am becoming a dealer at Kaeser and Blair and selling promotinal products to get me some startup cash for my online companies (websites).

Thanks!!

What do you think is a better business idea?

So…sort of as a part of my new year’s resolution – i am now hesitating between 2 potential ideas that i plan to develop – aside from my day job. That is:

Idea no 1: A website which charges just commission for trades on complex financial instruments: Like CFDs, Forex Options, Bonds, etc.
Problems with this idea: At least a few hundred thousands to start with since even a license in Antigua and Barbuda for such thing would cost k + and i need also substancial capital to cover leverage. But i have just about k to start with and my credit rating isn’t good to hope for a bank business loan.

Idea no 2:
A professional finance software program: which tries to predict stock prices via neural networks. The same program will test strategies on historical data and calculate things that aren’t available online: Like SABR volatility or Bond option prices.
Problems: Do people really need such things? I guess most traders are cocky enough to believe that they need only a chart and a wikipedia article to become a succesfull trader?

So…what do you think? Any advice will be of great help!

10x and happy new year!
